Wineries

Four Brix Winery – an urban winery located in the heart of Ventura – specializes in internationally-inspired wine blends. We produce wines based upon our four favorite grape growing regions: Italy, France, Spain and California. The word “Brix” is a term for measurement of sugar in grapes; therefore Four Brix equals four sweets spots for great wine! With a total production of around 1,000 cases, these wines are very limited and in high demand.

It takes strength, creativity and patience to make great wine, kind of like raising children. In fact, our wine is like our children, so we gave them names: Smitten, Zeductive (Zinfandel and Petite Sirah), Temptress, Rhondezvous (Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah) and Scosso (Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot) are a few of our kids. Once you taste the wines, you realize how apropos the names are. More on Four Brix Winery…

As fifth generation Italian-American winemakers, the Panaro family enjoys making California’s Central Coast grapes into single-varietal and blended wines that appeal to many different taste preferences. We craft our wines from scratch just minutes away from Ventura, California’s premier oceanfront attraction: Ventura Harbor Village – Shopping, Dining, and Sea Side Fun! Bring your friends for fun wine tasting in Ventura and put your knowledge of wine trivia to the test!

We don’t come from a multi-generation wine making family. We didn’t grow up in wine country or study abroad in Europe. We don’t have a traditional wine club or free tastings or pick up parties. We did (and still do) drink a lot of wine from up and down the west coast. We’re just passionate about wine.

Wines With Character & Story Our initial release of five Rhone-style wines in October of 2012 will be supplemented with an expanding portfolio including Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Cabernet and Grenache-Rosé. We want to bring wines we love to Ventura County, wines with character and story, made by people you can talk to. More about Plan B Wine Cellars…
